The famous horse (Posted on 2003-09-17) Difficulty: 1 of 5
You see a big painting of a horse with the following inscription below it:

"There once was a horse who had great fame. What do you think was the horse's name."

You walk away wondering what the horse's name was. What was it?

Just for the record, "Why anyone would go out in this weather is beyond me...." is NOT a question. If it did end in a question mark, then you would be questioning yourself. It is, quite clearly, a statement. On the other hand, "Why would anyone go out in this weather?" is a definite question.

Just listen to yourself ranting about a simple riddle. The horse doesn't have to be famous to make a riddle about it. Besides, if you think about it, the horse who had great fame could just be a random statement, while the horse in the painting (not being famous), was named 'What do you think.' Nah, that's silly, but STILL!!
